“Our kids have been growing, learning, and enjoying themselves at Camp Kupugani since 2007. The dedicated and diverse leadership and staff provide a safe, encouraging, well-rounded, and valuable experience for campers.

Parent

“I love camp because it is a safe place to be myself without being criticized for it.”
